as simple as the motor brushes. Check them first. Or it could possibly be the speed switch controller in the front of the machine. |

If the red 'power on' light is lit, then it could only be either the carbon brushes have worn down (especially if the machine was used a lot on high speed with the hose), or the hose or a nozzle isn't correctly mounted on the front. It's VERY rare for the actual speed control switch to go out. Remove what ever is mounted onto the front, turn ON the Kirby so the red light glows, and press in on the safety switch/speed control lever. If the machine doesn't run - check the carbon brushes. If the machine does run, remount the nozzle correctly so it presses the speed control properly.
